Cauliflower is a fantastic food to enjoy while following the keto diet, because it is filling and a great substitute for higher carb foods like potatoes, bread and rice, but is MUCH lower in carbs.

How to make Paleo Low Carb Cauliflower Stuffing
Soften
Add the oil to a large pan and add in the onion, celery and garlic. Cook until the onions are golden brown and tender. Reduce the heat a bit, adding in the cauliflower. Stir, cooking, until the cauliflower just begins to soften.
Cook
Add in the parsley, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and a pinch of pepper, cooking for a minute. Add in the broth and cover, cooking until the liquid is absorbed and the cauliflower is soft.
Enjoy

Top Tips for making Paleo Low Carb Cauliflower Stuffing
- Don’t set the heat too high: Cook your onions at medium-high, so that they cook evenly without burning. This will bring out lots of yummy flavor!
- Season at the end: There are some aromatic, delicious spices in this savory recipe! I do recommend, however, taste-testing the stuffing before serving and adding more salt and pepper if needed.
How to store Cauliflower Stuffing
Once you are done cooking up your delicious low carb stuffing, it’s time to enjoy it! If you happen to have leftovers, they will make for a tasty meal the next day. Simply place the leftover stuffing in an airtight container and set it in the fridge. It will last up to 5 days. To reheat, place it in a pan and heat it up over medium heat until it’s ready to eat.
Serving Suggestions
Now that you have your low carb stuffing ready to go, let’s make it a full meal! I recommend serving this recipe with a slice of golden turkey cooked to perfection, some sauteed broccolini, and finishing it off with a slice of low carb keto pumpkin cheesecake! A perfect keto friendly, scrumptious low carb meal to enjoy with your family and friends.
